We're a much more pragmatic side under Maynard, and I have fewer doubts about the way we're trying to play. He may not be as charismatic, and I have some doubts about whether he has the mettle to lead us to promotion, but he's certainly less dogmatic and more willing to adapt than Williams.
Speculation that their heavy defeat today was down to uncertainty about whether he?s going to West Brom or not. Which in my book is why we were so dogsh!t against the likes of Harrogate last season- the players knew he was going.
